Korg Forums

My cousin is planning to start on the development of a kingkorg VST editor via ctrlr.org

Does anyone know where we can find the CC blue print for the KingKorg?

Hi,

Refer to the manual, more in particular the parameter guide. It contains some midi tables telling which CC message can be used to control a certain parameter.
Note that in the global settings you can remap the CC messages. So the tables show only the factory default assignment.
On top of that, not all parameters can be controlled using CC. Some can only be controlled via SysEx.

Have fun

I see. My cousin and I are using CTRLR to try and do this. I found this...
http://i.korg.com/uploads/Support/USA_K ... IDIImp.txt

It's been surprisingly unhelpful. We've been unable to develop functional sysex commands to control the various aspects of the synth (because we simply don't know the commands)

Surely Korg has come clean on this? The guy who incorporated the KingKorg with his patch morpher had to get this information from somewhere....

Anyone?

Hi,

Well actually, I overlooked that file. I saw it before. And according to me it does contain all the necessary info for sysex commands... It just not a long list but a bunch of tables you need to combine...

Look for chapter 13 - Write error. It is followed by a few notes. Take the 4th one: MIDI Parameter Change Message Format.
This is the template for CC messages. Now look into the subsequent tables. If you find the parameter you want to change, note down the ID, SubID and the value. Fill those in into the template.

So for example, my educated guess to change the type of OSC1 of Timbre A is the next MIDI SysEx message:

F0 42 3n 00 01 18 41 02 00 0C 00 xx 00 00 F7 where
- n is the MIDI channel of the KK
- xx: 0-127 (00-7F) is the waveform (0: off, 01-20 : Analog, 21-60 : DWGS, 61-7E : PCM, 7F : Mic In)

Unfortunately I can not try this at home, because I don't have a KK.

Good luck.
